Recipes from the Tiki Room and does the Tiki Bar really open on May 25th???

After seeing that they had some cool recipe cards at the Tiki Room on Miceage.com  I decided to stop at the park on the way back from a seminar in Irvine....
I first stopped by the hotel since the new Tiki bar----I could see past the blue construction walls that the Tiki Torches were lit....But unless they tear all the walls down tomorrow I saw no signs that the new Tiki Bar and restaurant would open tomorrow.........

I then stopped and bought my Tickets for tomorrow night for Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides at the Downtown Disney AMC

Then it was off to the Tiki room for a Dole Tiki card with  Smoothie recipe



Snapped a few quick shots of the Tiki Room  (I will post my Great Tiki Visits the Tiki Room Blog next week from a visit I made years ago that kick started my growing love of Tiki


Here is the recipe on the back of the card



Angry Pineapple God...A Tribute to the Pineappleman????


Maynard Sighting....



So on the back of the card it gave the Dole Tiki   website  which I checked out once I got home
More recipes and fun

Shag now or Shag Later Haunted Mansion 40th anniversary event (August 2009)



I headed out Sunday to celebrate the Mansion's 40th Anniversary --For the Shag artwork event and signing was there on August 9th
When I arrived there was already quite a bit of a line.....Is a new Indiana Jones attraction opening? Not so much.







As I tried to sort out which line was which...I took a quick look in one of the stores where I ended up with a Hawaiian Tiki Room Shirt

Here was a Tomorrowland shirt SHAG style!





Tiki Style----Going into stores can be unhealthy for the wallet


Awww! There were ghosts in the windows as I waited in the hot sun for a line that was moving slower than the Rocket Rods


The Line of the day award


Being in line for that long on Main Street gives you the time to appreciate the little details



A Dude rocking the Shag Haunted Mansion Shirt


Once Inside a sample of some of the stuff



Once you picked what you wanted---you got to wait in line again ---Lines Rock.

and the Postcard set so I would have all 14 of the painting that I could make a display for



Luckily the Autograph line had dwindled away by the time I got through the merchandise line

So Chilling with Shag Tiki Style





Of course I had to go on the Mansion to celebrate the anniversary .....Here are a few pics I snapped of the outside.  I tried to capture a few different angles than normal.
